The present pandemic situation has increased the demand for plant-based functional foods that enhancing the immunity of all aged groups against COVID-19. This factor has led to innovation in confectionery market because healthy and good quality confectionery products are lacking. In this study, an attempt has been made to develop functional candy from various combinations of banana, ginger, skim milk powder, and honey at 2-10% and evaluated its sensory, nutraceutical, functional properties and microbial stability for 60 days. Among various combinations of banana and ginger pulp, candy prepared from 96:6 w/w (banana: ginger) ratio was found better than other combinations in respect to organoleptic and nutritional quality. Ginger and skim milk powder addition increased the contents of protein (4.54%), ash (2.82%), phenolic (8.59 mgGAE/g), flavonoid (2.43 mQ/g), and antioxidant activity (36.15% DPPH activity) of functional candy. Microbial studies of functional candy revealed it could be stored up to 60 days without microbial contamination and acceptable by the consumer. The cost of functional candy was Rs.1.53 per candy, which was less than market candy. This study showed that candy manufactured from banana, ginger, skim milk powder, and honey was nutritionally and economical improved with acceptable sensory properties. Developed functional candy increases the market's revenue and enables confectionary market to develop a new candy type.

The present study is aimed to analyze the milk quality, adulteration and mastitis infection in milk Samples available in market. Four different milk samples were analyzed for physical appearance, quality, adulterants and mastitis infection. 90% milk samples were white in color and 10 % were yellowish white. pH ranged between 6.5 – 6.9. Analysis of milk quality showed that Arokya milk appears to be better than the other three milk samples. Out of 4 milk samples analyzed for adulteration, adulterants found were glucose (80%), skim milk powder (58%), salt (51%) and urea (35%) while found negative for formalin, salicylic acid, boric acid, starch, soap and ammonium sulphate. All the samples were free from mastitis infection. The adulterants decrease the nutritive value of milk and may also cause serious human health related problems.

The keeping quality of various mixtures, made up of raw milk and skim milk-powder in varying proportions, has been studied. It has been found that the keeping quality of unpasteurized samples containing milk powder was slightly better than that of raw milk. The keeping quality of the pasteurized mixtures was satisfactory during the time of storage for 40 hr. at 23 and 18° C. and for 60 hr. at 10° C.

The present investigation has been aimed to study the effect of replacing khoa with skim milk powder on sensory characteristics and chemical composition of fresh bottle gourd halwa. Control bottle gourd halwa from khoa (To) and four lots of experimental bottle gourd halwa samples were manufactured by incorporating skim milk powder (in the form of reconstituted skim milk) at 10 (T1), 20 (T2), 30 (T3) and 40 (T4) per cent (w/w) of shredded bottle gourd. The fresh bottle gourd halwa samples were analysed for sensory (colour and appearance, body and texture, flavour and overall acceptability) and chemical (moisture, fat, protein, total carbohydrate and ash) qualities. The product prepared using 20% SMP (w/w) of shredded bottle gourd was found most acceptable on the basis of overall acceptability among the experimental products and at par (Pandgt;0.05) with the control product. Proximate analysis indicated that on increasing the proportion of SMP; fat and moisture showed a decreasing trend and reverse in case of protein, total carbohydrate and ash contents. As the level of SMP increases the cost of bottle gourd halwa also increased.

ABSTRACTResults are presented from six trials dealing with aspects of management on the cold ad libitum system of calf rearing using an acidified milk replacer containing over 600 g skim milk powder per kg.Thirty-six calves were housed in pens of six for each trial and were fed through a teat and pipeline from a storage barrel. Acidified milk replacer, pH 5·6, was mixed cold at 125 g/1 and made available ad libitum to 3 weeks. A rationed allowance was given daily, on a reducing scale, over the following 2 weeks with weaning completed at 35 days. A pelleted dry food containing 180 g crude protein per kg, together with water in buckets and barley straw in racks, was available ad libitum throughout. Each trial lasted 8 weeks. Results for the mean of the six cold ad libitum trials involving 216 calves were compared with the mean results of 10 conventional bucket-fed trials carried out separately at the same unit, involving 912 calves. All calves were purchased British Friesian male (bull) calves.Calves on the ad libitum system showed improved live-weight gains of 9·4 kg at 3 weeks, 8·8 kg at 5 weeks and 7·5 kg at 8 weeks, compared with the conventional system. The consumption of milk replacer powder was higher in ad libitum trials at 29·4 kg cf. 12·5 kg by bucket but intake of pelleted dry feed was lower on the ad libitum system at 50·7 kg cf. 71·3 kg to 8 weeks. Calf appearance scores were significantly improved on the ad libitum system which gave the main improvement in performance in the first 3 weeks.

SummaryEight explosive outbreaks of food poisoning, occurring in school canteens in England during 1953 and affecting 1190 known cases, are described. The clinical features were characteristic of the toxin type of illness. No deaths occurred.The food causing all of these outbreaks was prepared from spray-dried skim milk powder. It was not subsequently heat-treated and was usually consumed 3–4 hr. after preparation.The spray-dried milk powder proved to contain a high content of bacteria, including large numbers of Staph. aureus, of a phage pattern often associated with food poisoning. The assumption was therefore made that these outbreaks were caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin.Because the food was often consumed within 3–4 hr. of reconstitution of the milk powder—before, in fact, the staphylococci had had time to grow—it is concluded that the poisoning must have been due mainly to pre-formed toxin.Consideration is given to the opportunities for the formation of toxin in a spray-drying plant, and reasons are brought forward for believing that it is formed mainly in the balance tank where the warm milk is kept, sometimes for several hours, before passing into the final drying chamber.The processing of the milk and the precautions for preventing contamination of the finished product are discussed.

A probiotic fermented PCMT food mixture was developed by fermentation of an autoclaved and cooled slurry of pearl millet flour, chickpea flour, skim milk powder and fresh tomato pulp (PCMT 2:1:1:1, w/w) with Lactobacillus acidophilus (105 cells/ml), a probiotic organism at 37°C for 24 h. Such a fermented mixture inhibited the growth of pathogenic organisms, namely Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhosa and E. coli. A significant decline in pH with a corresponding increase in titratable acidity due to probiotic fermentation occurred in the developed food mixture. Feeding of the freshly developed fermented. mixture to mice suffering from E. coli induced diarrhoea, could help to arrest diarrhoea, reduce moisture, protein and ash contents in their faeces. The counts of lactobacilli increased whereas those of E. coli decreased remarkably in the faeces of mice from the 3rd day of the feeding trial till the end of experimental period. The beneficial effect of probiotic feeding may be due to antimicrobial substances produced by L. acidophilus, which might have neutralized the enterotoxins from E. coli. The cost of one 200 ml glass full of this probiotic drink is no more than one rupee.
